Course modules
- 01~150min
How digital marketing actually works (the funnel that drives every decision)
Digital marketing is not 'posting on social media.' It's a measurable system that turns strangers into paying customers. This module gives you the mental model every other module builds on.
- 02~150min
SEO — search intent, not keyword stuffing
SEO is the highest-ROI channel for most businesses. Most beginners do it wrong by chasing keywords. This module shows you what actually works in the era of Google's helpful-content updates.
- 03~150min
Paid ads — Google Search, Meta, TikTok, and the budget rules
Paid advertising can scale a business overnight or burn through your budget in a week. The difference is process. This module gives you the framework to spend money intentionally.
- 04~150min
Email marketing — the channel that quietly outperforms everything
Email has been declared dead since 2005. It still has the highest ROI of any digital channel. This module is why and how.
- 05~150min
Content marketing — the compound-interest channel
Content takes 6-12 months to start working. Once it does, it never stops. This module is how to do it without being one of the 90% of content marketing efforts that fail.
- 06~150min
Analytics — measuring what matters (and ignoring what doesn't)
Most marketing analytics is overwhelming, vanity-driven, or both. This module shows you the dashboard that actually drives decisions.
- 07~150min
Conversion rate optimization — turning traffic into customers
Doubling conversion is cheaper than doubling traffic. This module is the systematic playbook for finding and fixing leaky funnels.
- 08~150min
Putting it together — a full marketing strategy from scratch
Modules 1-7 covered the parts. This module assembles them into one cohesive plan for a real business — the way a senior marketer would approach a brief.
